don't know on that unit, but pump on my washer will stick check valves when not used for a while. i have to take the cap type plugs off and free them up. looks like 6 of them on your pump. these are the ones on end and top of yours. some of these have a light spring between valve and plug , don't loose them. hope this helps leroy

Leroy is right remove those plugs and look for parts stuck in place. You can also buy kits to rebuild those pumps and they aren't bad.

Not likely the pump..They are probably right or that unit has an unloader valve , lets the preasure go buy when the triger is not pulled. It will stick open.. Also the coupling between to pump and the motor is bad to go out..
Good Luck...
